Halo 5 Guardians development director Frank O'Connor recently spoke out against video game information leaks in a NeoGAF forum, and revealed his frustrations with keeping things under wraps.

"Breaking embargos is not prophesy," he said. "Nor does it require any particular skill or insight. Ultimately he is taking or being given information and leaking it, illegally and often erroneously. And he isn't doing it for some noble or worthy reason. He's doing it for attention."

He continued, "People, including nice people with kids and families and stuff, work super hard on this stuff and wake up in the morning to find some of their effort blown up. It's not fun, and for what? So you can have a mildly interesting surprise 8 hours early and lacking context? Or get hyped or disappointed disproportionately? Or get someone fired or someone innocent yelled at?"

Halo has been experiencing leaks all through this year. First it was the mention of the Halo 2 Anniversary edition which would precede Halo 5. The latest rumor mentioned the Master Chief Collection. So far all of these leaks have proved true, reported IGN.

Halo 5 is expected make its Xbox One debut in fall of 2015, an announcement from last week revealed.

"In the tradition of every Halo game since its debut in 2001, it is a massive and exciting project," said 343 Industries general manager Bonnie Ross in a statement from the company. "Halo 5: Guardians is a bigger effort than Halo 4. That applies to the content and scope of the game, as well as the technology in what's now a brand new and more powerful engine. Certainly there are some core elements carried over from prior games, but we've invested a huge effort in retooling our tech to take full advantage of the Xbox One's hardware and ecosystem to create worlds and experiences worthy of next-gen."

Ross said that Halo 5 will build on what they learned and used in Halo 4. Using the previous game's technology and understanding will allow them to create a better game.

"Many fans noted that I was very deliberate with my phrasing on stage at E3 last year. I spoke about a 'journey,' rather than a destination, and that journey definitely begins in 2014 with a giant leap, rather than one small step," Ross continued.

Also on the horizon for Microsoft's beloved franchise is a Halo series created by Steven Spielberg.
